Have seen a few of these flyers in my home since the weather warmed up. I've only ever seen them crawling and have never seen one actually flying. They don't seem too speedy and are easy to scoop into my hand to put outside.
Pretty certain they aren't carpenter ants given the lack of elbow'd antenna but I am super novice. Appreciate any help!
